Ulcerated Image

Do you think the first image on the page is appropriate? This appears to be an extreme case of this condition. E.g. I have just visited the page to get some information on my mother's diagnosis to be presented with that! Had it been my mother herself that looked it up, it might have ended her on the spot. 2A00:23C8:5D8C:BC01:EDB3:330F:926F:8EE (talk) 15:08, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed - Agree this should be changed to reflect a more general, "first-sign" type of lesion that would be more applicable and educational for the general reader. Replaced with this edit. Zefr (talk) 15:55, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
